‘Why is it always me?’ In certain moments of life especially during crises hasn’t almost everyone asked this question at least once? If you find yourself asking this, understand one important thing: You are neither the first nor the last person to face problems or go through difficult times.
Every person has problems in one form or another. It is just that only some problems are visible to the outside world. Still the truth is, most people carry their struggles silently as they go through life.
To each individual their own problem feels like the biggest. But if we take a step back and look from a wider perspective someone else’s struggles might appear larger, and ours may seem smaller by comparison.
Only those who are no longer alive are free of problems. We face problems simply because we are alive. In the same way we recognize problems because our brains are functioning – because we have intelligence, awareness, and the ability to discern right from wrong.
It is this functioning mind that allows us to anticipate danger, take precautions and make thoughtful decisions. And so -problems arise. But every problem has a solution.
Some may take more time to resolve than others – that’s all.
There is something else hidden in problems: They teach us how to solve them. They challenge us to use our abilities and resources more effectively. They reveal who truly stands by us in tough times. A problem is a lesson and also an opportunity.
